I came across this design called the Grand Marquoir, and its a free down load.. done in 6 sections so each one can be done over 2 months This is the link, to get the pic to open you have to sign into the site but gosh isn't it worth? http://www.edisaxe.com/modeles.php?cPath=15&osCsid=48afb58d38b5504e3ee83a68bdb6cba6
And then down load. The photos are finished ones as this was a 2009 sal but as I have finished Beatrix I thought this would fill the gap as it were.
Anyone care to join me?
I won't be starting till February so anyone wanting to join will have time to get kitted up
Its going to be a busy 2010!
What a detailed project. Too hard for this beginner but good luck.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great piece for a SAL...I'm working on Quaker Christmas and that is keeping me busy...enjoy this lovely new project.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful piece but I have a marquoir I finished a few years ago still waiting to be framed so I dare not start another one LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Grand Marquoir, it is a pleasure to stitch.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you, but I'll watch for now - too much else going on. But I'll be cheering you on. Have you seen Gabi's blog - she just finished this one this year - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so tough! But beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLosing weight is so tough, too! I had a full day and when I got home tonight, I poured a glass of wine and now I definitely don't feel like going for a walk. As a teacher I don't get much exercise during the day so walking is important. It's also cold and windy out so that doesn't help!
Good for you for going to an exercise group. That must be really helpful!
Good luck with your SALs!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2010
Chris, guess what, i have this all printed out ready to be my 2010 project just like the Beatrix was just haven't got round to sorting a piece of fabric and the threads to start it yet, it'll be nice to have someone to stitch along with
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely design & am very tempted but have already got several biggies on the go. I shall enjoy watching your progress though. :0)
